The Ionised Calcium test measures the level of free, biologically active calcium in the blood, which is crucial for various bodily functions.

It provides a more accurate assessment of calcium levels compared to total calcium tests, helping diagnose and manage conditions affecting calcium balance.

No special preparation is usually needed. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements, and follow any specific instructions given.

Results are typically available within a few hours to 1 day after the blood sample is processed.

The test helps diagnose calcium imbalances, parathyroid disorders, kidney dysfunction, bone health issues, and cancer-related hypercalcemia.

The Serum Renin Test measures renin levels to assess kidney function and diagnose conditions related to blood pressure regulation and adrenal function.

You may need to avoid certain foods, activities, or medications before the test. Follow specific instructions from your healthcare provider for accurate results.

The test is often performed in the morning, as renin levels can vary throughout the day. Timing instructions will be provided by your healthcare provider.

Elevated or decreased renin levels can indicate conditions such as secondary hypertension, kidney disorders, or adrenal dysfunction. Further evaluation may be needed.

Results are generally available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected, allowing for prompt review and diagnosis.

Recovery time varies but typically involves several weeks of rest and rehabilitation. Full recovery can take several months, depending on the surgery’s complexity.
